La lotta armata ha avuto vita così lunga in Italia per due precise ragioni, spesso considerate separatamente da osservatori e studiosi. Capire la sua storia è impossibile senza capire a fondo chi l'ha combattuta, come e con quali fini. Se da un lato il progetto rivoluzionario brigatista ha goduto nei primi anni Settanta di un certo consenso, poi estintosi col mutare delle condizioni del paese, dall'altro lato è sopravvissuto per tanti anni grazie alla lentezza dell'azione repressiva dei servizi di sicurezza che, come l'audiolibro documenta ampiamente, sin dal 1972 potevano debellare ogni nucleo armato.

The exemplary life of a noble soldier/statesman, a description of ancient Germany, and a discussion of oratory are the subjects of three short masterpieces by the brilliant Roman historian, Tacitus.

This compilation contains the complete audio recordings of all four of the landmark debates complemented by narration by Sander Vanocur (one of the original panel of journalists during the first debate), enabling listeners to hear, word for word, history in the making and to draw his or her own conclusions about who won this face-off between two of America's most noted Presidents.

The Annals, Part 2 picks up in the year A.D. 32 with the increasingly menacing and tyrannical behavior of Tiberius. With hundreds murdered or driven to suicide and many more in exile, Tiberius descends steadily into growing lust and debauchery on his private estate on the isle of Capri. Overseas, Rome is victorious in her struggle with Parthia, and as Tiberius is being smothered to death in A.D. 37 by Macro, peace at last comes to the eastern frontier.

In all of Roman history there was never a more turbulent year than A.D. 69, the ill-omened "Year of the Three Emperors". By some miracle, the greatest historian of the age, Tacitus, was able to chronicle those momentous events in a work he called The History. In its pages are some of the most memorable events of Roman history described in some of the most intensely passionate prose ever devised.
